TG…wait no seriously… T.G.I.F!!!!!
Wake-up: 6:10am you know… they really should put the snooze button and the off button further away from each other on a touch screen phone! Ugh…..
Shower/coffee/hair/make-up/ shake/ pack food / drive to work!
Shake: 1 scoop vanilla whey + 1/4cup of FRS Mango Peach concentrate= tropical amazingness!
Breakfast: 1 pack of blueberry oatmeal… I’m having some difficulty making my oatmeal at work… it’s really runny… at home or when I pre-make it before work I always use the stove… it makes it much nicer consistency and flavor… on mornings I’m in a rush… I make it at work…. Now we have hot water that comes right out of the coffee machine… that’s what I use in a bowl then I let it sit… if I try to microwave it I ALWAYS explode it all over the microwave… *sigh*… I think I may start making a big pot on the weekends then just scoop n go during the week?... We shall see!
Snack: 1 Braeburn apple
Yogurt: Today's Greek Yogurt mix in is brought to you by Sarah Metz... She suggested that I try adding sugar free jello powder... ok I'm up for anything... It was de-licious... no seriously... I used SF peach jell-o powder... I used less then half of a packet... it does alter the texture slightly but I can deal with that... Here is how it looked:
Lunch: 1 spinach asiago sausage from a few nights ago with…. A TAKE-OUT SALAD!!!!!! UTOH! The dreaded take out….. I do love some of the take out places near where I work… there is a place that at one point I would have given my whole paycheck to their food is that good! Alas times have changed… Today I ordered a half of a Greek Salad…. The salad had lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, feta, green peppers, and red onions… I opted for balsamic vinaigrette… I only used half of the pack… This was sooo tasty…. It really hit the spot… it was tangy, fresh, and salty from the cheese and dressing… This is something I will definitely get in the future.
Snack: None… I was still sooo full from my giant ‘half’ salad.
Another busy night… Our church is having a revival…. Tonight is the first night… I needed to be there by 7… I got done work at 4:30p…. I needed to stop at the grocery store in PGH to pick up a few treats for people… I knew I wouldn’t be able to have any time at the gym so I opted to walk on my breaks… totaling 30minutes… I decided to push today and instead of walking lapse around the building I walked up the small hill next to our building and then back down… Once on my first break and again on my 2nd break… It was defiantly a change of pace!
At the grocery store I had picked up a few things… Thomas’ now makes pumpkin bagels! OH MY! I bought a bag for my BF as he loves pumpkin anything…I bought myself a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread… I was surprised it only had 140cal for two slices… it will definitely be something I enjoy!.... I also picked up some Medjool Dates… these were insanely pricey… I bought 3 as a treat… I ate 1.5 this evening and will have the remaining in the morning…
Here are a few shots from my drive home:
Dinner: WENDY’S I opted for half of an Apple Pecan salad… and a cup of chili… I did not eat the Pecans… I just felt like it would be extra calories for not a lot of bang since they were not seasoned… I also used a pack of crackers in my chili... I hadn’t had Wendy’s in a while and it really hit the spot. I have to give props to Wendy's... they were jamming some Christian music... I love it! See even if you are not a Christian I think maybe the lyrics with strike a cord with you and hit home... Great job Weirton Wendy's!
Dates (after I had ate 1) :)
Church: Oh Lord! First let me say I didn’t want to go to this revival. I figured it would be boring and not up to speed… I wanted to go to the gym and have a nice work out… I… I wanted… well…. The Lord… He wanted my butt in that pew tonight! I keep saying I wasn’t going then at the last minute I decided I’d go… It was like the guy ‘Brother Jack’ (I can’t remember his last name) was sent from God tonight to speak right to my soul. I mean I get that’s what good evangelists do… I get that… Lord it was the message I was meant to hear tonight… I had tears I my eyes from the very beginning… BUT I don’t cry… not in public… well that all changed tonight… I was pushing back tears the entire time… holding them deep inside… then at the end there was an alter call… I wasn’t going if I had glue in my purse I would have glued myself to that church pew… I could feel the Spirit moving in me pushing me up to the alter to renew my faith and renew my bonds with Christ…. I went… I cried… then I couldn’t stop… see I’ve been dealing with a lot on my heart lately about the way I’ve lived in the past how I’m trying to live and where Christ is leading me… it’s all been weighing me down and I’ve lost sight of living FOR Christ… living to praise and worship and live for the Cross… I feel REVIVED now. Geee that is the point of a revival!.. Lots of people kept hugging me, we are a huggy church… For some reason that made me cry harder… I had to make a run for it… seriously I would have just kept crying and waterproof mascara only can with stand so much!
Water: I drank approx 32oz of water + 3 16oz cups of green tea before I left work at 4:30p… I then drank… two large diet cokes… not my optimal water intake, but would you want to be squirming in a church pew for two hours because you need to potty? I think not!
Ending totals: ** I will probably consume a few more calories it’s 10pm and for some reason I’m starving… probably all the crying J
Praises: Well I really don’t know where to begin tonight… I’m soo thankful Lord that I have you in my life… A strength I’ve never known before… forgiveness I’ve never understood until I knew You. A past erased not because of anything I did Lord, but because of what your Son, Jesus Christ, did for me on the cross. I feel you moving and working in my life daily. Guiding me exactly where I need to be… Earlier I took a picture while driving to work… It was an X in the sky… I stated on FB it was like X marks the spot on my treasure map to life… With God’s great presence guiding me I’ll get to that X one day.
xoxo
